Family of Late Isaiah Cheluget Supports President Ruto on Narok Land Dispute, Warns Against Imposters

The family of the late Isaiah Kiplangat Cheluget has publicly backed President William Ruto’s remarks on the controversial land dispute in Sogoo, Narok South, involving a 5,800-acre parcel of land registered as L.R No. ILMOTIOK/CIS-MARA/54.

Addressing a press conference led by Ambassador Nancy Kirui, the family—through its legally recognized administrators—confirmed they are in direct talks with government officials to resolve the matter amicably.

“We fully support the President’s position and can confirm that we have held several meetings with his representatives, including the Principal Secretary for Lands, the Governor of Narok, and the Director of Settlements,” the family said. “We have formally offered to sell the land to the government to facilitate the settlement of squatters.”

They revealed that their late father had initiated efforts to reach a peaceful solution to the dispute but passed away before an agreement could be reached. The family expressed gratitude to President Ruto and the Narok County leadership for continuing these efforts.

“We are grateful for the government’s commitment to finding a lasting resolution,” said Ambassador Kirui. “This engagement honors our father’s legacy and vision for a peaceful settlement.”

The family emphasized that all succession matters regarding the estate were settled in 2018 by the High Court in Kericho, which issued a confirmation of grant naming Raeli Chepkurgat Cheluget, Johnstone Kipknech Langat, Laurence Kimutai Langat, and Kenneth Kipyegon Langat as the legal administrators of the estate.

In a firm warning to the public, the family disowned one Moses Kipkirul Cheluget, also known as Moses Kipkirui Cheruiyot, accusing him of attempting to interfere with the ongoing negotiations.

“Moses previously went to court in 2017 claiming to be a biological son of the late Isaiah Cheluget. The court dismissed the petition and denied his request for DNA testing through exhumation, citing procedural and cultural concerns,” they stated. “He is not a recognized heir or administrator of the estate and has no legal standing in this matter.”

They called on the public and government institutions to disregard any claims made by Moses or any other unauthorized individuals.

“All legitimate communication regarding the estate should come only from the court-appointed administrators. We urge everyone to allow the ongoing process with the government to proceed without disruption,” they concluded.
